Preamble:
CCM Youth is fully committed to supporting the full and meaningful participation and empowerment of Christian youth, seeking to bring together prominent Christian youth leaders active in church, community and nation building, with youth policy and program makers at the national level. CCM Youth hopes to create a springboard that will allow youth leaders to learn, share experiences, ideas and aspirations, and to implement action plans to bring Christian values to the community and national life of Malaysia in efforts to build the kingdom of God and glorify our Lord Jesus Christ.
Objectives:
CCM Youth envisions Christian youth leaders to take on the role of being the prophetic voice of the youth to the nation, and provide the platform to:
1. Mobilize prominent Christian youth leaders into participation and empowerment at the national level;
2. Provide the space for dialogue between Christian youth leaders and policy makers and practitioners of best practices regarding youth participation and empowerment;
3. Be fully equipped, share experiences, ideas and aspirations on the work of faith and justice and design new initiatives for working together;
4. Discern the signs of the times, and covenant together a commitment to facilitate positive change in the nation;
5. Facilitate stronger youth presence through the formation of a national youth strategy and through the development and implementation of NexGen Action Goals.
6. To create a unique ecumenical networking experience and foster unity in the body of Christ.
Who should attend:
CCM invites Christian youth leaders, i.e. students, working professionals and church workers, from ages 18 to 35 years old from around Malaysia who want to make a difference in the community and the nation. We aim to provide you with the platform to grapple with the challenges of the present and actively seek practical ways to contribute to the achievement and development of NexGen Action Goals.
This inaugural Assembly intends to become an annual major gathering of Christian young people as well as specialized keynote speakers and workshop leaders from the Malaysian Christian community to (a) learn about and become involved with programs that address global and local issues, (b) network among a large ecumenical group in attendance, and (c) become engaged and empowered to take leadership roles in their churches and communities.
